Ex-Canary Sutton, who was outspoken about Mick McCarthy’s departure last season, had an exchange of opinions with Town fan Tom on BBC Radio Five Live’s 606 show over the weekend.

With Tom saying the football and entertainment has improved under Paul Hurst, despite the club sitting bottom of the Championship table, an incredulous Sutton once again leapt to McCarthy’s defence, saying what he had done at Portman Road was a ‘big achievement’.
